Tory MP: “We have to thank the rich” as they “bear the biggest burden”

The Conservative Party hasn’t been left wanting for people going off message recently, and with elections looming tomorrow it’s unlikely CCHQ will thank one of their Essex MPs heaping praise on the richest in society as maligned martyrs to the national interest.

You’d think that, even though these people believe this stuff, they’d have the brains not to mention it. I mean, what possible positive outcome could this guy have for saying this stuff?

It’s just like the Tories saying “We’re in this together!” How did Cameron and his entire advisory team not realise that the majority of the population would find that laughable coming from a multi-millionaire.

Not only the party of the psychopathic in their lack of real feelings or any kind of empathy they are also delusional ….unless of course his definition of the word ‘burden’ is quite different from common usage….which could be the case as they talk stuff which has no relevance to what they mean/intend/do….perhaps we are just misunderstanding them as their words don’t mean the same things to us e.g.’ we’re all in it together’ clearly stands for ‘every man for himself’

Janetsays:

But the poor lambs DO bear the burden. Just imagine how hard it can be to find an Accountant that will fiddle the books for you. Of course they’re not all 100% up to speed on tax avoidance methods and which emerging economy is likely to yield the best rate of tax free return on your investment.

Garysays:

Geraldine, I have come to exactly the same conclusion about the Tories/ right wingers. They are incapable of empathy and as such have non-clinical psychotic personality bases. They also appear to have no grasp of cause and effect, either through basic intellectual limitations or by design, but the results are the same – a selfish individual who can be trusted to ever put the interests of our country before their own. The rich just need to stop whinging and being so ungrateful and pay more tax to the country that enabled them to become so well off!

Spitting nails and bricks doesn’t say it, does it? No wonder this country is in such a mess. With people like him and the rest of them, we don’t need a damn recession, they cause it all on their own. No sweat. They ought to be thanking all of us!!! Without our help they wouldn’t have their flash cash to buy another sweatshop, boat, mansion.

Most politicians are not stupid and know cause and effect..they just choose not to care about the rest of us. They are not elected to represent us but to represent their own and their buddies’ interests. They just couldn’t give a damn and are laughing all the way to the bank!
